list of 2016 realistic fiction books

I think 'Salt to the Sea' by Ruta Sepetys is quite notable. It's a historical fiction that reads like realistic fiction as it brings to life the real - life event of the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff during World War II. The characters' stories are heart - wrenching and it gives a vivid picture of that time.

Well, 'Little Women' by Louisa May Alcott is extremely popular. It follows the lives of the four March sisters and their coming - of - age experiences. It has been loved for its strong female characters and its exploration of family, love, and growing up.

One of the most popular is 'The Fault in Our Stars'. It deals with the love story between two teenagers with cancer in a very real and touching way. 'Gone Girl' is also quite popular. It has a complex plot that delves into a marriage and the secrets within. Another popular one is 'The Hunger Games', which, while having some dystopian elements, also has a lot of realistic aspects in terms of character relationships and the fight for survival.

'Out of My Mind' by Sharon M. Draper is also popular. It tells the story of a girl with cerebral palsy who has a brilliant mind but is unable to communicate easily. It shows her journey to find a way to express herself and be recognized for who she really is.

One reason could be the presence of disturbing content like abuse. For example, if a book graphically depicts child abuse, it may be banned to protect children from being exposed to such traumatic material.

I'm not sure specifically which books are on such a list as it can vary by different regions, schools or organizations. However, some books might be banned due to containing controversial topics like violence, or themes that are considered too mature for children in certain cultural contexts.

A popular one is 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green. It tells a love story between two teenagers with cancer in a modern and realistic way, which has touched the hearts of many readers.

I think 'The Kissing Hand' is very popular. It's a story that many first graders can connect with as they might be feeling a bit nervous about starting school, and it gives them comfort.

I think 'Charlotte's Web' is quite popular. It's a classic that tells the story of a pig named Wilbur and his friendship with a spider named Charlotte. The way Charlotte tries to save Wilbur from being slaughtered is really moving and it's a story that has been loved by generations.

One great book from the list could be 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee. It deals with themes of racism and justice in a small southern town in a very realistic way. The characters are well - developed and it gives a great insight into the society of that time.
